ON THE ONE DAY HIKE 
NO CAMPING TRIP AFOOT SHOULD BEAR THE NAME OF 
HIKE UNLESS AT LEAST ONE MEAL IS COOKED OUTDOORS 
By JULE MARSHALL 
HE war has brought 
out the word “hike.” 
The soldier-hikes have 
made the word com- 
mon and attractive, 
perhaps also the ex- 
ercise itself. I find 
people everywhere 
talking about hiking 
and on questioning 
them learn that it is 
a walk that is contem- 
plated, probably in the 
park. 
To out-of-door people a hike means a 
camping trip a-foot, not in the city but 
out in the country. Hark, a moment, to 
NESSMUK the pioneer of outers: 
“For brick and mortar breed filth and 
crime, 
With a pulse of evil that throbs and 
beats; 
And men are withered ' before their 
prime 
By the curse paved in with the lanes 
and streets. 
And lungs are poisoned and shoulders 
bowed, 
In the smothering reek of mill and mine; 
And death stalks in on the struggling 
crowd — 
But he shuns the shadow of oak and 
pine.” 
With this warning in mind, we must 
shun the confines of office and factory 
and seek the freedom of hill and dale. 
If we must endure the mechanical side 
of life for five and one-half days of the 
week, let us spend our “rest billet” out 
with natural things. 
Various parts of the country are more 
or less favorable to the enjoyment of 
different forms of outdoor sports but all 
of the country lends itself to hiking. 
Among the first things that hikers will 
unconsciously enjoy will be the beauty 
of the scenery, the hills and valleys the 
sky, the general color scheme and the 
enchantment of distance. Then will come 
the observance of detail in the trees, the 
flowers, berries, birds and their songs, 
the brooks and their exposition of geology 
and in all the gladness of feeling the 
soft earth under foot. 
Anybody can hike. It does not require 
an elaborate outfit in the line of wearing 
apparel or other equipment. Anything 
you have goes into the outfit, especially 
at first, until you see how you like it. 
Uncle Sam has furnished many a man 
with the proper hiking costume during 
the last two years. And many a woman 
now has an old suit on hand cut on mili- 
tary lines, just the thing for the hike. 
The best clothing for hiking is the 
army uniform or the type worn by hunt- 
ers, which should consist of a lightweight 
woolen shirt, riding breeches, puttees, 
waterproof shoes, a sleeveless sweater, 
mackinaw and cap. Underwear, as well 
as the outerclothing, are regulated by the 
seasons. For the woman, a middy blouse, 
wide corduroy skirt, high shoes with low 
heels, sport coat and the overseas type 
of cap. Do not wear rubber soled canvas 
shoes. Rather wear good stout leather 
shoes with rubber heels. 
N OW a hike is no hike at all unless 
at least one meal is cooked outdoors. 
So we are ready for equipment. The 
best carry-all is the light pack or ruck- 
sack. This is carried on the back by 
means of shoulder straps. It is pur- 
chasable in almost any department or 
sportings goods store but is very easily 
made at home. A continuous strip of 
light weight khaki drill, 18 in. wide when 
stitched together will form front, bot-
